The word is out that FX is developing a TV-series sequel to Bret Easton Ellis’ classic American Psycho.
The novel was the story of a wealthy investment banker in the 1980s who was also a a serial killer. In 2000, the film was released with Christian Bale in the starring role. The FX tv series is to be set years after the events in the book and star a Bateman in his 50s who takes on a new apprentice.
The official logline: “In the new drama series, iconic serial killer Patrick Bateman, now in his mid-50’s but as outrageous and lethal as ever, takes on a protégé in a sadistic social experiment who will become every bit his equal — a next generation American Psycho.”
Thoughts? Is it jumping on the bandwagon of the likes of Dexter and, more recently, The Following?
